... On ECB Side, despite covid19 news, there is not a lot to expect, ECB has runned out of ammo ; at last two meetings, their call for fiscal stimulus was unanimous. 2 weeks ago, EZ finance ministers agreed fiscal expansion if things get worse on macro front. => Fiscal stimulus in EZ would be Euro positive & Obviously Fed Cut expectations will give EURUSD a double boost. The only problem is current risk off environment triggered by this week-end covid19 news. EURUSD has to digest, first, current risk off flows fueling USD.
=> first fiscal measures in EZ coming from Germany but that's still (very) shy ... Germany might need a €100bns/€150bns plan...
I guess they are keeping ammo (they have a lot via budget surplus) for later, once they have a better gauje of covid19 impact on their export economy

ST Map I have in EURUSD : As it stands : -> 1.0866 and 1.091x are nearest resistances -> If price takes back 1.092x, we will have a ST Bottom confirmed. {image}
EURUSD was up on the news but that was very short lived, it was hammered near second resistance 1.091x (major one ; as said earlier a break up of that L SH will set a ST bottom)

Monthly close is going to be very interesting to gauje market sentiment in EURUSD. There is a possible break down on M1 (1.0879). In short, it's Risk flows Vs FED expectations flows/EZ fiscal stimulus expectations flows. Losing 1.0879 on M1 will mean Risk has the upper hand and chances will be very high price visit the 2017 LT Bottom area discussed the other day :

... Sell off continues today I'm still thinking week will be saved, especially in US equities as it's far too early for a MT reversal macro wise especially with current FED monetary policy (very aggressive). But my trades were awful, in particular timing wise as it was only Tuesday and end of the week was far away.
And ES ticking back the 318x .......................................................

They are going to save the week
very bad luck for my longs, was squeezed, simple

there is a possible retrace swing in EURUSD from this 1.100x

1.100x --> 1.092x --> 1.084x

I'm not trading it, got enough trying to ride the retrace swing in ES, even if trades R:R were asymetric enough to digest the failures

Again, 1.0925x is the one to track for the close to stamp a reversal up on D1 and a confirmed ST TA Bottom

ES found a floor via FED cuts expectations as expected and is now trading first theoretical target of the retrace swing @ 308x, after a low @ 3006, 3 points below my STP, very unlucky on this one to say the least...

ST Map I have in EURUSD : As it stands : -> 1.0866 and 1.091x are nearest resistances -> If price takes back 1.092x, we will have a ST Bottom confirmed. {image}
=> EURUSD is set to hold the break up (1.0925) on D1

Meaning we have a confirmed ST Bottom now in EURUSD.

That allows one now to look for long positions (for minimum 1.114x and maximum extrem top 1.133x) and that also defines value areas to buy these tickets :

=> At the break up 1.092x (all above is not worth R:R wise)
=> At the ST Bottom 1.083x (best value area, my choice, hence why I called the retrace swing to this level earlier).
=> And, very generally, everything below 1.083x is super cheap as long as we don't break down current lows 1.077x)

Can it go up without a retrace swing ? That would be a runaway move, but there are no tickets available R:R wise

Nearest resistances I have to try to jump in if one believes in a retrace swing:

=> 1.100x the SH rejection discussed earlier (has already capped the flow as hinted)
=> 1.103x (last reversal down D1, which btw coincides with 50%+ 2sigma retracement)

Ok we had the first post Covid 19 macro data released this week-end. Chinese PMIs look obviously surreal but 2 important points :

1) it's basically a of what markets were trading the past weeks. It's a start. Markets were trading fear/panic/psycho/uncertainty, thay can now start trading tangible data.

2) These PMI are actually already outdated : peak of Covid19 in China was reached 3 weeks ago. There are still new cases in China sure but outbreak is clearly capped there. Outside Hubei province, new cases rate has fallen significantly. A good indicator : 3 weeks ago, Beijing was a ghost city, today its legendary traffic jams are already back.

For the other parts of the wold, it seems now clear local governments & WHO have acknowledged they can't stop the virus circulation (because of the unlinked cases that pop up) and their strategy is now to slow down its circulation as much as possible until spring and warmer temperatures come. Like any coronavirus, covid19 won't make it once weather get milder. Big clusters like in Italy & Iran are going to evaporate mechanically in a month. There is almost nothing else to do now in all "infected" countries than sit tight, respect conscientiously hygiene rules and avoid big events in confined spaces until April comes .... We are far from a doomsday scenario imo. Economically, impact is going to be big (as leading last China numbers show) but short lived imo (as next China numbers might already show). Q1 2019 might only be seen later as a one-time statistical anomally.

Is it a pandemic by WHO standards ? Technically, it's a pandemic if circulation becomes uncontrollable in two continents. Statement by WHO looks imminent but it seems to me it's only a question of semantic there, not really a game changer market wise. I don't expect much more than a knee jerk reaction on the statement.

But it is time to keep in mind MT & LT levels as FED expectations are litterally huge (50bp cuts as early as this month + 25bp cut at June FOMC) :

=> we will have a MT reversal up (hence a MT bottom) if price breaks up 1.124x on W1
=> we will have a LT reversal up (hence a LT bottom) if price breaks up 1.157x on M1

From a strict rate differentials perspective, current rates expectations for 2020 have already unlocked 1.164x & 1.191x !!!!!!

Let's just hope we can have some kind of retrace to get long !

As it stands, FED cuts implied probabilities :

=> Probability(50bp cut in March) = 100%
That will set EURUSD max rates differential down from 1.75% to 1.25%

=> Probability(25bp cut minimum in June) = 87.2%
That will set EURUSD max rates differential down from 1.75% to 1.00% in June

=> Probability(25bp cut minimum in Sept) = 58.6%
That will set EURUSD max rates differential down from 1.75% to 0.75% in September

=> Probability(25bp cut minimum in Dec) = 32.3%
That will set EURUSD max rates differential down from 1.75% to 0.50% in December

Adios swap traders.....


On ECB side ? As said earlier, very very few ammo left. Slight cut maybe (10 bp ?) but banking sector is already struggling to handle low rates. Expectations for EZ are a fiscal stimulus (which is Euro positive).

Assuming current flow in EURUSD is the initial swing (as ST reversal up @ 1.092x clearly hints) :

Value areas to go long for the impulsive swing (to aim 1.16xx and beyond)

On D1 TF :

- 1.099x (Previous ST Bottom)
- 1.092x (ST reversal up)
- 1.083x (ST Bottom & SL rejection) best value area, a no brainer but looks far now

On W1 TF :

- 1.101x (MT bottom under construction)
- 1.095x (SL rejection) best value area on W1 (btw level was tested and sharply bought during US session last friday)

Value areas to go short for the retrace swing (the swing that is expected after the initial swing and before the impulsive one)

- 1.114x (ST Top, not my choice as rates expectations point to (at least) a test of MT reversal up @ 1.124x)
- 1.133x (untested last summer rejection (rejection that occured when markets sold the FED's shift fact (the shift to cut bias))
